The release of hockey cards may be slow this year, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Collectors should begin readying for a season and can do that with Upper Deck’s 2012-13 SP Game Used, which released today.

The product features five packs with a hit in each pack. There is at least one autograph in every box.

Rookies: While there isn’t a load of high-profile rookies in these products yet, there are still some players garnering interest from collectors. New York Rangers rookieChris Kreider has been on the most collectible rookie this offseason, collectors haven’t forgotten about Sven Baertschi, a Swiss hockey player with the Calgary Flames.

Other Memorabilia: One of the unique things about collecting hockey cards is the vast amount of materials card manufacturers can use: jerseys, skate laces, pads, fight straps, gloves, and sticks. SP Game Used utilizes a number of those items in the product.– Fight Straps

There’s an early look at 2012-13 SP Game Used. The post will be updated throughout the day as different items pop up.
